Using the Vocoder/Auto Pitch

A “vocoder” is an effect that is typically applied to a human voice. By sending

a human voice through a vocoder, you can give it an unexpressive robot-like

character. The pitch is controlled by playing the keyboard.
“Auto Pitch” sounds suppress pitch irregularity, producing a pitch-corrected sound.

By applying a stair-step constraint to pitch change, this creates a mechanical effect.

5

The preset bank (PRST) contains 10 vocoder settings and 10 auto-pitch settings.
